[Anshi Semiconductor launches the new generation 650V gallium nitride technology]
Recently, Nexperia (Anshi Semiconductor), a high-capacity production expert in the field of basic semiconductor components production, announced the launch of a series of new high-voltage gallium nitride field effect tube using the new generation of H2 technology.
The new gallium nitride technology uses vias through the epitaxial layer, reducing defects and reducing the chip size by about 24%. The new high-pressure GaN FET is available in two packages, TO-247 and Nexperia's proprietary CCPAK. Both achieve better switching and conduction performance and provide better stability. Thanks to the cascading structure and optimized device-related parameters, Nexperia's gallium nitride field effect tubes require complex driving and control, and the application design is greatly simplified; they can be easily driven using standard silicon MOSFET drivers.
[Murada launches MEMS 6DoF inertial sensor]
Recently, Murata Production announced its new MEMS 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) device SCHA600, aiming to improve the safety of automotive design. The inertial sensor injects its data through GNSS and many perception sensors (from cameras, radar and lidar), thus providing high performance in bias stability and noise.
The characteristics of this new MEMS inertial sensor can reveal an interesting aspect of ADAS technology: 6DoF - 6 degree of freedom (six degrees of freedom).
[ Sweden develops a new sensor that greatly increases the detection rate of Covid-19]
Recently, researchers from the University of Malmö in Sweden developed a new sensor to fight Covid-19. The sensor is designed to quickly determine whether a person is infected with Covid-19 during testing, greatly improving testing efficiency and overcoming some current surveillance bottlenecks.
"Our technology is based on a fully synthetic form of antibodies and other receptors, and our sensor design and production will be more stable, cheaper and faster, based on the concept of viral sensors that we have been studying for several years," said Brje Sellergren, professor at the Center for Biofilm-Biointerface Research at Malmö University. "Current virus testing is expensive, requires laboratory facilities and is very time-consuming, which leads to the failure of widespread testing. Therefore, sensors that can directly detect viruses in saliva, throat or nasal samples can help alleviate this bottleneck. Obviously, this may also benefit poor countries with a large population, as testing resources are scarce in these countries."
The research project was selected earlier this year by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (IVA) as one of 100 projects with commercial potential for sustainable development themes.
[BuildingLink’s Aware launches new sensors to serve building management]
On June 12, BuildingLink, a provider of residential building intelligent sensor solutions, announced a solution to accelerate the full reopening of public areas and comfortable spaces in residential buildings - Aware Button Logging sensor solution.
Aware is a division of BuildingLink that provides technology to unlock building data and provides property managers with the actionable insights they need to help reduce costs and improve the quality of life for residents and employees. Aware's smart sensor solutions identify problems in buildings such as water leakage, mechanical system failures, elevators that need maintenance, monitoring noise conditions and managing parking systems. This sensor solution can limit liability, enhance residents’ sense of security, and strengthen new COVID reopening policies.
[ Huami develops a new generation of chips that combine high performance and low power consumption]
Information from all parties shows that Huami will release the new generation of wearable device AI chips at the AI innovation conference held on June 15.
First, recently, Huami officially released a preheating poster saying that " Huangshan No. 1" is just a small test. What should be a shocking success? "Huangshan No. 1" is the world's first wearable processor integrating AI neural networks. It has four core artificial intelligence engines: cardiac biometric recognition engine, ECG, ECGPro, and heart rhythm abnormality monitoring engine. At present, Huangshan No. 1 has been mass-produced and commercially used in many Amazfit brand watches and bracelets in Huami.
is again the CEO of Huami Technology, Huang Wang posted on Weibo: "As Huami's first test of self-developed chips, Huangshan No. 1 has received wide praise from the industry after its release. So, should the wearable chip that is better than Huangshan No. 1 be called Hongshan No. 1 or Huangshan No. 2?"
Huang Wang also revealed that the upcoming chips have high performance and low power consumption.
"High performance and low power consumption seem to be like two sides of a coin. On the one hand, it is how to maximize the calculation performance of local AI data under different technical paths and algorithm rules, because computing performance affects the speed of disease recognition. Every 1% increase in disease recognition speed can save an extra life; on the other hand, it is how to effectively improve battery life while the battery capacity remains unchanged. After all, we do not plan to equip your Huami device with a power bank. At this time, I am a firm two-faced person. What we need to do is to make the coin stand up."

[Guo Ju successfully acquires Jimei]
June 9, the Investment Review Committee of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs indirectly invested in US KEMET through Yageo for US$1.640 million in the investment review committee of China. CORPORATION's equity investment case.
April 29, Guoju officially announced that it had received a notice from the China Mainland Anti-Monopoly Bureau officially approved the merger between Guoju and the United States. Now, after being reviewed by the Investment and Appeal Committee of Taiwan, China, it means that the final antitrust review process for the merger and acquisition has been successfully completed and the transaction will be completed as scheduled in the third quarter of this year.
After the merger and acquisition case is implemented, Guoju will hold 100% of the shares and become the third largest passive component factory in the world. It is expected to occupy the first place in chip resistors and tantalum capacitors and MLCC (ceramic capacitors) markets, which will help expand visibility in the US and European markets, and enable Guoju to successfully enter the high-spec-oriented Japanese market. Through its complementary characteristics with Jimei, it will strengthen the complete layout of high-end and niche markets, which will help reduce the risk of industrial prosperity.
[Gechuang Dongzhi A round financing exceeded 100 million yuan]
Recently, the A round financing of Gechuang Dongzhi Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Gechuang Dongzhi) incubated by TCL was announced to be completed, with the financing scale reaching 100 million yuan. This round of investment is invested by the top domestic investment institution Yunfeng Fund . The strong alliance between TCL and Yunfeng Fund will inject new strategic resources and development momentum into Gechuang Dongzhi.
Gechuang Dongzhi was founded in 2018. It is incubated by TCL Group, which has accumulated nearly 40 years of manufacturing experience, focusing on industrial Internet innovation. The "production site-oriented" industrial Internet platform research and development direction proposed by Gechuang Dongzhi has created a new generation of APaaS platform - Dongzhi Industrial Application Intelligence Platform by deeply integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing.
The financing of this time is mainly used for product research and development, and to accelerate the creation of a new generation of industrial Internet platforms and applications; as well as to continue to promote the creation of the "industrial geek" ecosystem and continuously expand the layout of China's industrial Internet industry ecosystem.
